You Used to Breathe in Water
Manage episode 516622293 series 2940410
What if the things you call impossible are simply waiting for you to remember who you once were before the world told you what you couldn’t do?
In this bold and mind-twisting episode of the UNCOMMODiFiED Podcast, Tim Windsor cracks open a wild truth — before you were born, you breathed in water. That’s right. You lived, thrived, and grew in an environment that would kill you now. You didn’t just survive the impossible; it was your normal. And somewhere along the way, you forgot that impossibility used to be your reality.
Through storytelling, neuroscience, and raw challenge, Tim takes you deep into the tension between safety and growth. He exposes how your brain’s addiction to comfort and predictability disguises itself as logic, whispering that your dreams are unrealistic when they’re just untested. Drawing on the strange brilliance of a diving bell spider that learned to breathe underwater, he reminds you that thriving in unnatural places isn’t madness — it’s evolution. What if the “impossible” things in your life — the book you won’t write, the conversation you won’t start, the change you keep delaying — are just waiting for you to step into a new environment and take your first terrifying, necessary breath?
This isn’t a soft motivational message — it’s a challenge. A challenge to identify the goals you’ve drowned beneath fear, to stretch your comfort zone until it gasps, and to visualize your success until your brain believes it’s possible. It’s a call to embrace discomfort as a sign of growth, to reframe fear as progress, and to build your own “diving bell” — a safe bubble where you explore the impossible until it becomes inevitable.
Remember, you were literally born out of an impossible act — breathing in water — and maybe, just maybe, it’s time to start doing the impossible again.
